. . . when first we practice to deceive.
This week's topic: truth and lies, honesty and deception.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on whether it is better to tell the truth, or to lie. If it depends, on what does it depend? When you have to decide whether to be honest or deceptive, what factors do you consider? When is it better to tell the truth, and when is it better to lie? Why do you recommend that action at those times?
Is it best to tell the entire truth, or to leave some parts out? If you leave parts out, is that dishonest? Outright lying?
Is honesty really a better thing than deception? If it is not, why does our culture teach that it is? For that matter, does our culture truly teach that it is?
Do you consider yourself to be completely honest? If you don't, can you share something you have lied or would lie about -- a generic or invented example, if not an actual one?
One post from everyone by Saturday, October 3, please.
